Two Oceans Marathon set for April

The Two Oceans Marathon (TOM) will take place in April with the half-marathon on April 16 and the ultra-marathon the following day.
Runners will be eager to take on the Western Cape’s most pre-eminent road race after a two-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The 56km Two Oceans Ultra Marathon, which takes runners along the spectacular panoramic vista that is Chapman’s Peak, is a jewel event in the Western Cape.
It generates up to R672-million towards the local economy annually.

“We are thrilled to be back on the road after more than 20 months. This has only been made possible by the ongoing support of our partners, Athletics South Africa, the Western Cape government, the City of Cape Town and the broader running community,” says TOM NPC chairperson William Swartbooi.
TOM race director Debra Barnes adds, “The pandemic has affected all aspects of our lives and limited our participation in this much-loved sport.
“Navigating the challenges brought about by the pandemic has forced us to look at things differently and respond in an acutely agile manner as we go along.
“We want to celebrate the strength of spirit of our runners, many of whom will have overcome some of life’s greatest challenges to be at the start line in April 2022.”
A date for entries will be announced soon.
